Alephium, operational since November 2021, stands out as a Layer 1 blockchain that seamlessly combines scalability and expressivity without sacrificing security or decentralisation.
It introduces a unique set of technological innovations, positioning itself distinctively within the blockchain sphere.
Among these innovations are its unique sharding algorithm known as Blockflow, the energy-efficient Proof-of-Less-Work consensus mechanism, and a novel Stateful UTXO model.
These features collectively aim to bolster Alephium's technical foundation, striving for a more decentralised and efficient blockchain landscape.
